  Next, an outline of a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment for executing a job flow will be described. FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of a schematic configuration of the information processing apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment.

  The information processing apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment includes an authentication unit 50, a job flow execution control unit 52, a process execution unit 54, a process execution control unit 56, and the above-described DB 30. The authentication unit 50, the job flow execution control unit 52, the process execution unit 54, the process execution control unit 56, and the DB 30 are connected to each other through a line such as a bus 58 so that information is exchanged.

  The authentication unit 50 obtains authentication information including location information of the terminal device 12 (including a user who uses the terminal device 12, hereinafter simply referred to as a user) from the terminal device 12, and determines a security level corresponding to the authentication information. have. Therefore, the authentication unit 50 according to the present embodiment includes a security level determination unit 60 and an acquisition unit 62. The acquisition unit 62 has a function of acquiring authentication information from the terminal device 12, and the security level determination unit 60 determines the security level corresponding to the authentication information based on the security policy DB 40 stored in the DB 30. It has a function to do.

  The job flow execution control unit 52 has a function of creating a list of executable job flows and distributing the job flow to the terminal device 12 when a job flow execution instruction is received from the terminal device 12. Therefore, the job flow execution control unit 52 according to the present embodiment includes a list creation unit 64. The list creation unit 64 has a function of creating a list of job flows that can be executed at the security level determined by the authentication unit 50 based on the flow DB 42 and distributing the job flow to the terminal device 12 that is the transmission source of the authentication information. .

  The process execution unit 54 has a function of executing a job flow instructed to be executed. For this reason, the processing execution unit 54 of the present embodiment includes a reception unit 66 and an execution unit 68. The accepting unit 66 has a function of accepting a job flow execution instruction from the terminal device 12, and the executing unit 68 analyzes the flow definition of the job flow and performs a series of processes defined in the job flow as processing units. It has a function to execute processing for each.

  The process execution control unit 56 has a function of performing control related to process execution for each process when the execution unit 68 executes each process defined in the job flow. Therefore, the process execution control unit 56 according to the present embodiment includes a process execution determination unit 70 and a transfer processing unit 72. The process execution determination unit 70 determines, based on the process DB 44, whether the execution of the process is permitted / not permitted / transfer of the execution destination corresponds to the security level of the user instructed to execute the process. It has a function to do. In this embodiment, when it is determined that the execution is permitted, the process execution unit 54 is instructed to execute the process. Further, the user terminal device 12 is notified that the execution is permitted. On the other hand, when it determines with disapproval, it notifies the user's terminal device 12 that execution is not permitted. If it is determined to transfer the execution destination, the transfer processing unit 72 transfers the execution destination. The transfer processing unit 72 determines a transfer destination corresponding to the security level associated with the process of transferring execution based on the transfer destination DB 46, and notifies that the execution of the process has been transferred to the determined transfer destination. It has a function to do.

  Next, job flow execution control based on the security level corresponding to the user's situation in the information processing apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to a specific example. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a sequence example when the execution of the estimation job flow is controlled by the information processing apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment. The specific example shown in FIG. 4 shows a sequence in a case where a user who has gone out to a customer executes an estimate job flow in order to make an estimate requested by the customer. Hereinafter, a case where a specific example is shown in FIG. 4 will be mainly described. Note that the control of job flow execution and the execution processing of each process by the information processing apparatus 20 are executed by the calculation unit 22 executing the program 25 stored in the storage unit 24.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the estimation job flow is a series of processes for starting a process for starting the process (S 300), for obtaining information submitted by a customer necessary for the estimation, and the like. It includes necessary item acquisition processing (S302), estimation processing (S304) for estimating based on the acquired information and the like, and distribution processing (S306) for distributing the estimation result to a predetermined distribution destination.

  Here, it is assumed that the user who is away from home uses the terminal device 12 from the outside, such as a laptop computer or a terminal at the outside of the home, to connect to the information processing apparatus 20 and perform an estimation job flow.

  When the user who is away from home receives a request for an estimate from a customer, the user requests the information processing apparatus 20 for an authentication process (S100). In response to the request, the acquisition unit 62 of the authentication unit 50 of the information processing device 20 acquires authentication information from the terminal device 12 and determines the security level (S200). In the present embodiment, the authentication information includes at least position information for specifying the position of the user (terminal device 12), and more preferably includes user information for specifying the user. When acquiring the authentication information, the acquisition unit 62 specifies the position of the user from the authentication information. The method for specifying the position is not particularly limited, and an existing method such as using GPS or using the IP address of the terminal device 12 may be used. Further, for example, user entry / exit information and attendance information may be acquired, and it may be specified whether the user is in or out of the company.

  Further, the security level determination unit 60 refers to the security policy DB 40 stored in the DB 30 and acquires a security level corresponding to the position information acquired by the acquisition unit 62. A specific example of the security policy DB 40 of this embodiment is shown in FIG. The security policy DB 40 shown in FIG. 5 shows the state of the security level corresponding to the position. A security level of “high” indicates that the terminal device 12 is connected to an intranet (for example, in-house), which is a state (position) in which safety is ensured and safety is relatively high. ing. On the other hand, a security level of “low” indicates that the safety is relatively low because the safety is not ensured (location) because it is a place other than the home or business partner (for example, a convenience store). ing.

  In the present embodiment, the acquisition unit 62 identifies the location of the terminal device 12 as a business partner from the acquired authentication information, and the security level determination unit 60 determines that the security level is “medium” based on the security policy DB 40. Judge that there is.

  Next, a list of job flows that are permitted to be executed at the security level determined by the security level determination unit 60 is created (S202). The job flow execution control unit 52 of the information processing apparatus 20 refers to the flow DB 42 stored in the DB 30 and acquires a job flow corresponding to the determined security level. A specific example of the flow DB 42 of the present embodiment is shown in FIG. The flow DB 42 shown in FIG. 6 shows execution control corresponding to each security level of the flow (job flow) 1 to flow 3. If the execution control is “◯”, it indicates permission, and if it is “×”, it indicates disapproval.

  In the present embodiment, since the security level is “medium”, the execution of the flow 2 and the flow 3 that is the estimated job flow are permitted, the execution control corresponding to the security level “medium” is “◯”. Yes. Therefore, the list creation unit 64 creates a list that presents the flow 2 and the flow 3, and transmits the list to the user terminal device 12.

  The terminal device 12 that has received the list selects a desired job flow from the list and instructs its execution. When the execution instruction is received by the reception unit 66 of the process execution unit 54 of the information processing apparatus 20, a flow start process (S300) for starting the estimation job flow is executed. In the present embodiment, an instruction to execute a job flow selected from a list of job flows permitted to be executed by the user is accepted. Therefore, whether or not execution control for the execution instruction can be controlled is performed again here. Not performed. Note that, as in the present embodiment, when a job flow to be executed is not selected from a list of job flows that are permitted to be executed at the user's security level (for example, a specific job flow is directly executed by the user). When the instruction is received, the job flow execution control unit 52 may control the execution based on the flow DB 42 after receiving the execution instruction by the receiving unit 66.

  When the estimation job flow is activated, in the next necessary item acquisition process (S302), processing for acquiring information, documents, and the like necessary for estimation is performed. Upon entering the necessary item acquisition process step, the process execution determination unit 70 of the process execution control unit 56 determines the execution of the process based on the process DB 44 stored in the DB 30 (S204). A specific example of the processing DB 44 of this embodiment is shown in FIG.

  Here, since it corresponds to the necessary item acquisition process of the flow 3 of the process DB 44 and the security level is “medium”, the execution control is “◯”, that is, permission is indicated. Therefore, the process execution determination unit 70 instructs the execution unit 68 to perform necessary item acquisition processing, and notifies the terminal device 12 that permission has been granted. When the user who is away from home receives the necessary information from the terminal device 12 to the information processing device 20, the necessary information is stored in the estimate DB 48 stored in the DB 30.

  In the next estimation process (S304), an estimation process is performed using the acquired necessary items, in-house materials, and the like. Upon entering the estimation process step, the process execution determination unit 70 of the process execution control unit 56 determines the execution of the process based on the process DB 44 stored in the DB 30 (S206). As shown in FIG. 7, in the estimation process of the flow 3, the security level is “medium” and the execution control is set to “transfer”. “Transfer” indicates that the execution of processing is transferred to another person (another terminal apparatus 12) without causing the user (terminal apparatus 12) who has instructed the execution to execute it. When the estimation process is performed, it is conceivable to use a material that is confidential to the outside. If such a process is performed outside the company, there is a risk that information may be leaked. For this reason, in the present embodiment, for example, it is set to transfer the execution of the process to a user at a security level capable of performing the estimation process, such as another user (terminal device 12) in the company.

  When it is determined that the transfer is to be performed, the transfer processing unit 72 of the process execution control unit 56 determines a transfer destination of the process (S208).

  The transfer processing unit 72 determines a transfer destination based on the transfer destination DB 46 stored in the DB 30. A specific example of the transfer destination DB 46 of this embodiment is shown in FIG. In the transfer destination DB 46 of the present embodiment, information regarding the correspondence relationship between the user, the default (initial setting) position of the user, and the security level is registered. Instead of registering the correspondence with the user's default position in this way, for example, the current user's position is acquired from the user's attendance information, authentication information, etc., and the correspondence with the current user's position is obtained. May be registered.

  Specifically, the transfer processing unit 72 first acquires a security level for performing the estimation process with reference to the process DB 44. As shown in FIG. 7, “high” is acquired as the security level for which the estimation process is permitted. Next, the transfer processing unit 72 detects a user whose security level is “high” in the transfer destination DB 46. In the example shown in FIG. 8, since the security levels of the user B and the user C are “high”, the user B and the user C are determined as transfer destinations, and the estimation process is transferred to the user B and the user C. Notify that. The transfer destination may be notified of a plurality of transfer destinations as in the present embodiment, and the order of the security level is the highest, and the user (transfer source user) and position of instructing the execution are the same. The transfer destination may be detected based on the order of closeness, and the transfer of the process may be preferentially notified to the detected specific user.

  It should be noted that the transfer source user is notified of the notification of the transfer of processing and the transfer destination information.

  Further, when the transfer destination is not detected, it is preferable to notify the transfer source user to that effect. In this case, the estimation process is temporarily stopped at this point, and the location information (security level) of the user who has instructed the execution when the transfer destination is newly found or when the user at the outside location returns to the office is executed. Processing may be resumed when the security level is changed to a permitted level. When the user moves, the moved user newly performs an authentication process, and the information processing apparatus 20 determines the security level and acquires the security level corresponding to the current position to obtain the new security level. The processing is continued in the order of the processing defined in the job flow according to.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the transfer of processing is notified to users in the company whose security level is set to “high”. The in-house user who has received the notification connects to the information processing apparatus 20 from the (terminal device 12) and executes the estimation process, whereby the estimation process is continuously performed from the outside user to the in-house user. .

  When the estimation process ends, the in-house user executes a distribution process (S306) in order to distribute the estimation result. Again, the process execution determination unit 70 determines execution in the same manner as described above. In this embodiment, since the execution is permitted, the distribution process is executed. In addition, when the distribution process is executed, it may be notified to the user who is away from the office that the estimation result has been distributed. Upon receiving the notification, the user who is away from the office outputs the estimation result by the terminal device 12 (S102) and presents it to the customer.

  As described above, in the information processing apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment, the authentication unit 50 acquires the current position information of the user, acquires the security level corresponding to the position information based on the security policy DB 40, and the job flow. The execution control unit 52 controls job flow startup processing (execution) based on the flow DB 42 according to the acquired security level. When the job flow is activated, the process execution control unit 56 controls the execution for each process included in the job flow based on the process DB 44. If it is set to transfer the execution of the process (in the case of the estimation process), the security level permitted to execute the process is acquired, the user having the security level is detected, and the transfer destination is determined. The determination is made and the user determined as the transfer destination is notified that the process has been transferred. The user to whom the process has been transferred continues the series of processes by executing the transferred process.

  By controlling in this way, a user who is away from the office can execute (activate) the estimation job flow. In addition, processing that should not be executed unless the place has a higher security level than the outside location can be continued by a user with a higher security level by setting the content of execution control to “transfer”. it can. Therefore, according to the current situation of the user, the execution of the job flow can be controlled without departing from the security policy, and the process can be continued at the transfer destination.

  In the present embodiment, a list (not shown) of job flows permitted to the security level acquired by the list creation unit 64 of the job flow execution control unit 52 is transmitted to the terminal device 12 of the user who is away from home. Yes. In this way, the terminal device 12 of the user who is away from home does not display information relating to the job flow that is not permitted outside the home. Displaying a job flow that is not permitted may not be desirable in terms of security, but security is ensured by doing so.

  In the present embodiment, the process execution control unit 56 determines execution in units of processes and controls execution. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the process includes a plurality of more detailed processes, Execution may be controlled for each processing unit. Further, the processing parameter setting determined at the time of starting the job flow may be validated or invalidated according to the security level, and the processing may be advanced to a place where the setting is confirmed.

  Note that the configuration, operation, flow definition, and the like of the job flow system 10, the information processing apparatus 20, and various DBs described in the present embodiment are examples, and can be used according to the situation without departing from the gist of the present invention. Needless to say, it will change. Further, although the present embodiment has been described in detail using the estimated job flow, it is needless to say that the present invention is applicable to other job flows as well.
